Chapter 375 Destruction Of The Ledger
Chapter 375 Destruction Of The Ledger
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room at the center of the floating island of the Void Chamber of Commerce, more than half of the senior executives of the Void Chamber of Commerce gathered here.
"Why did you all come back?" asked the Great Elder sitting on the rostrum.
As the main speaker of the Void Chamber of Commerce, he needs to sit at the headquarters to deal with various emergencies during the period before the alliance meeting.
Today, a large number of high-level chamber of commerce returned to the headquarters without being summoned. He also knew the reason, but he hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.
"Grand Elder, it was reported this morning that our chamber of commerce owed the Ninetowns Alliance 12.6 billion spirit stones. Now, we don't have a unified statement, and we can't deal with all kinds of public opinion. So we went back to the headquarters and asked for the opinions of the headquarters."
A middle-aged man in purple said.
"Yes! We need to have a unified reply. If the major cities insist on their own opinions, it will be easy to be caught by others."
Another old man also spoke, he is the branch president of Vermilion Bird Tiancheng.
"It happened suddenly, and there is no solution here at the headquarters." The Great Elder looked around for a week and continued.
"However, this is true. The Chamber of Commerce does owe 12.6 billion to the Nine-Cities Alliance. Among them, 3 billion is the expenses for the previous meetings of the Nine-Cities Alliance. The rest is interest."
"The interest is so high! Why didn't our chamber of commerce pay the principal on the spot, and have to wait to pay the high interest now." A middle-aged man in white said dissatisfied.
"There are many reasons. The most important thing is that there is no one in the Nine-Cities Alliance to preside over the order. Under normal circumstances, our chamber of commerce owes spirit stones and doesn't have to return them. I just don't know why there was a mistake this time."
The Great Elder also looked puzzled.
"Elder, let's not dwell on the cause of the problem. Now we need to know the solution, so that we can go back and guide the public opinion in the various cities."
The Vermilion Bird Amagi branch president who spoke just now said loudly.
In his opinion, the branch is already on fire, and the elder is still struggling with the cause of the matter. I really don't know what to think.
"Our chamber of commerce wants to continue to merge the floating island into Fengdu Tiancheng, so we have no choice but to return the spirit stone." The elder said.
"How do you say it to the outside world, Lingshi owes thousands of years, and its reputation is not very good! What we have to deal with now is the residents of a whole city. If we don't handle it well, it will definitely affect future business, even for a month. to be voted at the subsequent Union meeting."
Another sub-chairman below said worriedly.
"How about denying the matter directly after we return the Lingshi?" A deacon suggested.
"It's too late. If you directly deny the news this morning, people will still believe it. After a few hours, we have no response. If you deny it now, no one will believe it anymore."
Vermilion Bird Amagi branch president glanced at the deacon and said.
He's a little disappointed now, don't these people have any brains in their suggestions?
"Then just admit the facts, fulfill the agreement, and generously return the Lingshi." Another deacon suggested.
"Admit it directly? Then the reputation of our chamber of commerce will be seriously damaged."
...
For a while, there was endless debate in the conference room.
The Great Elder sitting on the stage did not stop him. He is also in a dilemma now, not knowing how to deal with this matter. It's just a matter of arguing to see everyone's opinions.
"Okay, everyone stop arguing."
A quarter of an hour later, the Great Elder suddenly spoke. The aura of a fifth-order cultivator instantly filled the entire space.
In an instant, the entire conference room was silent.
"The matter has already happened, so there is no point in sophistry. The headquarters of the chamber of commerce will mobilize the spirit stones as soon as possible, and return the owed spirit stones as soon as possible. I think everyone has no objection to this point."
The Great Elder looked up at the crowd and continued.
"It was announced to the public that the account books from thousands of years ago have been destroyed, and the Chamber of Commerce is not aware of these accounts. However, since the system was proposed and there is actual evidence, the Void Chamber of Commerce will admit that it is in arrears and will actively return it."
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he looked at the people below to see what their opinions were.
"This reason should be able to handle the situation." After thinking for a while, Vermilion Bird Branch President said.
"Very good, much better than my own reasons!" A deacon said flatteringly.
"Since there are no other opinions, let's do it according to this statement. The presidents of the branches immediately return to their respective posts and direct the response to this matter."
"Yes, Great Elder!" After the nine people saluted the Great Elder, they turned and left the conference room.
After watching the nine people leave, the Great Elder's face changed, and he said to the people below in a gloomy voice.
"Do you know who caused this?"
Following the change of the elder's face, an extremely oppressive atmosphere appeared in the conference room.
This is the fifth-level cultivator, even if he doesn't make a move, he can affect other people.
"Maybe, it's Zhang Feng!" a deacon said tremblingly.
"Why are you guessing like that." The Great Elder cast his gaze on the speaking deacon.
"Less than five minutes after receiving the system prompt, Zhang Feng sent out the news that the Void Chamber of Commerce was in arrears with the funds for the alliance meeting. I checked, and the other cities only received the news half an hour later. And it was obviously copied Post by Zhang Feng.”
When the deacon spoke, he still walked on eggshells, for fear of saying something wrong.
"Is there any other news?" The Great Elder looked at the others again.
"Okay, you all go out, do what you have to do." Seeing that no one spoke, the Great Elder waved everyone away.
...
Fengdu Tiancheng, Zhang Feng's void, standing on the city wall, he looked down with the space god eye.
The reason why Zhang Feng placed the Void Island here is because the square below is a bit weird.
Last night, the place was empty and no one entered. In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle elsewhere.
Now, Zhang Feng is carefully investigating the situation below.
There is a ring road around the square, but few people pass by here.
There is a fountain pool in the center of the square, which should be a good place for leisure outings. However, there was no one there.
After watching for a long time, Zhang Feng didn't find anything abnormal except no one.
"I still don't believe it, why can't I find any clues?" Zhang Feng said fiercely.
He began to see through this area with his spatial god eyes. From the edge of the square, slowly explore the fountain pool in the center.
"found it!"
Suddenly, Zhang Feng yelled excitedly.
Zhang Feng found a slanting pedestrian passageway more than 20 meters underground near the south side of the pool.
Zhang Feng continued to observe along the passage with his spatial eyes.
The passageway is a shop in the distance. This shop is not open for business, and there is only a teleportation array inside.
The end of the passage is directly below the pool, where there is a huge underground space.
